8GB RAM in 2024? Come on, Apple. At least give 16GB with 512 SSD. I think getting upgradeable RAM and SSD is more wise for power users or developers. Plenty of options like Dell or Framework laptops allow upgrading ram and ssd later. Just saying…

News article from Apple itself about newer M3 based devices: https://www.apple.com/sg/newsroom/2024/03/apple-unveils-the-new-13-and-15-inch-macbook-air-with-the-powerful-m3-chip/

Your indexes in MySQL or Postgresql have become corrupted, and as a result, your backups now contain these corrupted indexes. This is a serious issue, and the only way to fix it is to recreate the indexes while ensuring that any duplicates are removed. I had to do this a couple of weeks ago, and it was a frustrating and time-consuming process. It is frustrating that those responsible did not verify the backups properly.

OpenAI is currently sued by

1 Authors Guild et (copyrighted text/images)

2 NYT (OpenAI caught red-handed using NYT articles)

3 Elon Musk

4 Doe 3 (unknown folks suing OpenAI and Microsoft/GitHub Copilot and their names kept hidden because of death threats given by OpenAI or MS employees to these lawsuits)

5 Sarah Silverman suing OpenAI for stealing her books or jokes

6 Many other lawsuits are filed against OpenAI

How long will it take for Microsoft's CEO or shareholders to stop funding OpenAI?

Linux lovers, let's get real! Even with all its greatness, there's GOTTA be that one thing that drives you a little crazy about it. What's your biggest Linux pet peeve?

#Mastodon devs should consider implementing a feature that allows users to pin any comment. At times, my followers write insightful or amusing comments that deserve recognition. This feature would enable me (and others) to highlight and reward such comments by pinning them. #wishlist

For all the hype about AI, it's disappointing that spam is still a huge problem. You'd think intelligent algorithms could figure this one out. AI can apparently write poetry, make videos, draw pictures, and beat chess masters, but we still get bombarded with spam emails and scammy social media posts.

> asteroid the size of 16 washing machines

Are we doing science reporting or what? What kind of reporting is this and the unit? Please stick to measuring space objects in meters or kilometers and not this washing machine as a size unit.

Why do developers prefer dark mode? Wrong answers only.
